The Batu Resort Police (Polres) closed the access route from the local area to Mojokerto Regency, East Java through Cangar due to landslides that occurred at Kutukan Sendi, Pacet.

Head of the Batu Police Traffic Unit, AKP Kevin Ibrahim, said that the closure of the route to Cangar was the result of coordination with the Mojokerto Police.

"Yes, it was closed because of a landslide that entered Mojokerto. That's right (the closure after coordinating with the Mojokerto Police)," Kevin said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, November 24.

As a result of the closure of the Cangar route, the Batu Police Traffic Unit has also implemented traffic engineering. Motorized vehicle drivers from Batu City and want to enter the Mojokerto Regency area can go through the Karanglo route and then head to the Singosari area in Malang Regency.

The Batu Police have also installed an appeal board at intersection 3 which is located in the Bendo area, Batu City regarding the temporary closure of the Batu route to Mojokerto via Cangar due to being buried by landslide material.

Kevin stated that his party continues to coordinate with the Mojokerto Police as well as monitor the development of conditions in the field.

"There is no limit, because road access cannot be passed and waiting for information from the Mojokerto Police when the road can be accessed," he said.

Confirmed separately, the Head of the Public Relations Section of the Batu Police, Iptu M Huda, said that the clearing of the landslide pile material had stopped because the location of the incident was raining.

The closure, which was implemented from the side of Batu City, was placed around the entrance to the Cangar area.

"Untuk kondisi lalu lintas sampai saat ini aman," HUda.

Huda also appealed to all motorists to increase their vigilance when driving in the middle of the rainy season, especially for those moving from Batu City to enter the districts of Kediri, Blitar Regency, and Mojokerto Regency.

"Please update the development of weather and information from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) and the Resort Police," he appealed.
